Is there a way to make some rows readonly and other editable? Even better would be on the individual cell level.

I have the following scenario. I have a list of items that I need to display both horizontally, which is the normal grid behaviour, and vertically.

To accomplish this I have to build a datatable dynamically based on which option is selected. (horizontal or vertical).

When horizontal is selected I do not have a problem because I can set columns to be readonly. However when I display the data vertically I need the top row, with the exception of the first column which now acts as the headers, to be editable and all other rows to be readonly. I have attached screen shots to demonstrate

Thanks,

Billy Jacobs

Hi Billy Jacobs,

A possible approach in your case would be to use the BeginningEdit event of the grid and enable or disable the edit-mode for the columns/ rows you need. For example:

private void playersGrid_BeginningEdit(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridViewBeginningEditRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            GridViewRow row = e.Row as GridViewRow;
 
            if (e.Cell.Column == this.playersGrid.Columns[0] || row.Item as Player == this.playersGrid.Items[0] as Player)
            {
                e.Cancel = false;
            }
            else
            {
                e.Cancel = true;
            }          
        }

In this way only the first row and the first column will be editable.

Sincerely yours,
